Top 1 for this auction:

Joan Miro's painting is the most successful one, with an estimated price of £9-14 million and a price of £10.23 million.

Top 2 for this auction:

Le Mois Des Vendanges has been in the collection of Claude Hersaint Family who focused on Surrealism since 1963. At that time, he bought the painting for £6,000. Now, the painting is valued at £10 million to £15 million, and it is sold for £10 million, which has become the Top 7 of Magritte's personal turnover list.

Le Mois Des Vendanges is one of Magritte’s rare large size paintings, measuring 127.6 x 160 cm. It is reported that there are only four of Magritte's large-scale paintings in the private market, and this is one of them. The protagonist of the painting is a man in a hat and suit. The usual painting of "man in cap and suit" only goes into battle alone, and his face is covered by different objects. However, this painting shows countless "man in cap and suit" staring at the audience from the window, which makes people feel uneasy of surrealism.

In addition to the top three, Joan Miro and Margaret's other works have also achieved good results. At the same time, Max Ernst, Francis Picabia, El Salvador Dali and other artists have also made brilliant achievements.
